December 19, 2018 12: Robinhood's Savings Mirage
A host of digital start-ups have gotten a lot of attention in recent years for using technology to improve investing and democratize finance.

This week on The Readback, Alex Eule talks with reporter Ben Walsh about his recent story on Robinhood.

This week on The Readback, Alex Eule talks with Barron's senior writer Avi Salzman about how alternative data can give investors an edge-and what the risks are.
